2 AMC-S402 Installation

This chapter contains the procedures for installing and removing the AMC-S402 AMC

module.

2.1 Installation and Removal of the AMC-S402 Module

The AMC-S402 AMC Module can be installed into an ATCA shelf (chassis) with slots

designed to accept AMC.3 installations. The module slot height must properly

match the panel height fitted to the AMC.

2.2 Important Information about Your Chassis

The AMC-S402 is designed to PICMG specifications and is a general-purpose

Advanced Mezzanine Card. Before using this board, review the specifications of the

chassis and backplane that will house the module to determine the presence of, and

any limitations of, chassis, IPMI bus, and user defined pin outs. For example, some

chassis backplanes route certain I/O pins to internal resources such as alarm cards

and drive resources. The AMC-S402 is intended for an ATCA AMC carrier card or

MicroTCA chassis/backplanes/slots that are AMC.3 compliant. It is your

responsibility to verify this system compatibility. Failure to do so could result in

improper operation or equipment damage.

2.2.1 Safety Statement

The AMC-S402 is designed to comply with UL60950-1, and is intended to be used

with similarly tested ATCA and MicroTCA products that have a user’s guide detailing

user installation of AMC module accessories.

2.2.2 Observe Maximum Module Current Requirements

Be sure to validate the host chassis, and the intended AMC slot is able to meet the

following maximum current requirements

2.3.1 Observe ESD Precautions

Emerson strongly recommends that you use an antistatic wrist strap and a

conductive foam pad when installing or upgrading a system. Electronic

components, such as disk drives, computer boards, and memory modules, can be

extremely sensitive to electrostatic discharge (ESD). After removing the component

from its protective wrapper or from the system, place the component flat on a

grounded, static-free surface (and, in the case of a board, component side up). Do

not slide the component over any surface.

If an ESD station is not available, you can avoid damage resulting from ESD by

wearing an antistatic wrist strap (available at electronics stores) that is attached to

an active electrical ground. Note that a system chassis may not be grounded if it is

unplugged.

2.3.2 Watch for Bent Pins or Other Damage

Bent pins or loose components can cause damage to the board, the backplane, or

other system components. Carefully inspect your board and the backplane for both

pin and component integrity before installation. Our suppliers take significant steps

to ensure there are no bent pins on the backplane or connector damage to the

boards prior to leaving our factory. Bent pins caused by improper installation or by

boards with damaged connectors could void the warranty for the backplane or

boards.

If a system contains one or more crushed pins, power off the system and contact

your local sales representative to schedule delivery of a replacement chassis

assembly.

2.4 Use Caution When Installing or Removing AMC

When first installing boards in an empty chassis or onto a carrier card, we

recommend that you start at the left of the card cage and work to the right.

When inserting or removing a board in a slot adjacent to other boards, use extra

caution to avoid damage to the pins and components located on the primary or

secondary sides of the boards.

2.4.2 Understand Hot Swap

Your AMC-S402 is electrically designed for hot swap within a fully powered chassis.

To facilitate hot swap, there is a blue LED on the front faceplate. This LED is under

software control.

If your system is using software that provides full hot swap capabilities, the software

will illuminate the blue hot swap LED on the AMC faceplate when software has

stopped and it is safe to remove the AMC module.

If your system does not have hot-swap aware software running, behavior of the blue

LED is indeterminate. In this case, you may need to manually shut down applications

or operating systems running on the board prior to board removal, even if the blue

LED is lit.

Powering down or removing a board before the operating system or other software

running on the board has been properly shut down may cause corruption of data or

file systems.

2.5 Verify Slot Usage

Prevent possible damage to module components by verifying the proper

slot usage for your configuration.

In most cases, electronic keying (E-keying) will prevent power on of a board into an

incompatible slot. However, as an extra precaution, you should be familiar with the

slot purpose.

3.3.1 SAS Port Isolation Multiplexor Circuit

The AMC-S402 includes SAS re-transmitter circuits that can be used to adjust or

“wave-shape” the transmit signal characteristics driven out the AMC finger

connections (storage signaling ports 2 and 3). At manufacturing time, this circuit is

pre-set to values that are optimal for the majority of deployments.

Programmable parameters include:

 transmit pre-emphasis (five levels)

 receiver equalization (three levels)

 Transmit output swing to support SAS up to 1600mV

Tools are available to adjust these circuits to accommodate atypical backplane or

cable situations. Please contact your Emerson applications engineer if you feel your

deployment will require different settings.
